The Sarawak Energy Berhad (SEB), the state's sole electricity supplier, explained the power outage which hit certain parts of Miri City today, was due to a trip at the Similajau-Tudan transmission Line 2.

The trip occurred at 12.04pm.

    

SEB said at 2pm, the Similajau-Tudan Line 1 was energised and power supply was restored in stages, adding that there was full restoration about 20 minutes later.

"The cause of the power outage is still under investigation," it said in a brief statement in Miri.
